[Tigers] Stock Air Filter Question

[Tony Somebody]

Steve- I have it saved somewhere but I didn't find it easily just now Theo has
a KanN number and the filter is the same circumference but it is thicker. I
saved it(somewhere) so I could get more airflow when I get the 1A restored.
I'm sure Theo will be glad to share the part number. I'm only guessing about
the filters Rick sells but all the ones I know of are originally round but can
be made into an oval with just a little work and after its in place, it seems
to hold it's new shape. I have an original filter in an unpin box and another,
never used but broken in half. I imagine some glue wold make it whole again.

Steve,

I, too, bought a K&N cleanable - re-oil able, air filter by K&N from sunbeam
Specialties. Got the K&N oil, as well.  I wished it were just a little
thicker, as there is room even with an F4B high-rise and a 4 BBL 465
Holly.   There are numbers all over the part, so I called K&N.

They have absolutely no application information on the size, as they kept
wanting me top buy a "Universal" round filter and squeeze the rubber to
match.  Rick's is already the correct oval size.  The rubber numbers seem to
be the original feed stock part the unit is assembled from, NOT the filter.

I am not too sure what you mean by a "bit too small", because it fits the air
cleaner trays fine.  I just wanted a little thicker.

So, unless you are putting a RAM CHARGER scoop on your hood, leave it alone,
and buy Rick's.

I appear to be the only one h=who has the correct answer for your question -
"There is no correct answer!"

(9-)

Then, you can always steal Santa's red hat/sock
and use it - just look what his flying reindeer can do with  that!


Steve

Happy Holidays

I have a K&N air filter in my stock housing but it's a bit too small. You have
to force it into the groove and it still does not fit right. I got it from
Sunbeam Specialties years ago. Is there a more current K&N filter size that
matches the original paper filter size exactly? If not, is there a stock air
filter replacement that fits as original?
